bootskinvista basically only allows you to change the background wall
What else is there in a bootskin, its just a wallpaper 
When you put it into bootskin Vista, it becomes usable as a bootscreen 
Xp version doesn't! You have to Create it using Photoshop. Make a bootskin from the files I gave in Bootskin Vista and post it somewhere, please.
Even in the Vista version you create it in Photoshop or Paint shop, its only packing up the image as a usable bootskin.
What files are you talkin' bout and where to post?????
